Ernie Ball 2220 5-stars Reviews

Awesome strings - a must for touring

I give these some hammer and they don't let me down - they'll easily do a few weeks of shows playing every day and still sound great with no fear of snapping!!

Great strings

The Ernie Ball power slinky string are a great, slightly heavier gauge set of strings, especially for heavier playing styles.

The slightly thicker strings are more durable and less likely to break and they also add a bit of extra tone.

I recommend these strings for Rock, Metal, Punk, heavy Blues guitarists.

Best 11-48 set I found

I've tested several 11-48 from different manufacturers and settled on these. To be completely honest its not like there is a big difference between strings with the same gauge made with the same materials, the differences are very subtle. I found these strings to be usable on any style and any tuning of rock/heavier music!

Ready to rock and roll!

If you are into rock and roll, punk, metal, blues and similar styles where you need powerful and punchy tone Ernie Ball Power Slinky Electric Strings will do the job.

I have used these strings on various guitars over the years and I can say that Ernie Ball have been on of the most consistent in quality of their products. You literally can't go wrong with a pack of Power Slinky's...

My favorite string gauge is 0.11 but I have used Power Slinky 0.10 strings and I am pleased with them as well.

A lot of my friends and band mates use them as well, and everybody is pleased for the most part. We all know that guitar strings will eventually break at some point, loose their initial bright sound, but I am very pleased at the time it takes to break or muffle Ernie Ball Power Slinky strings.

Ernie Ball Power Slinky's have been my allies in rocking out for years and will remain so in the future!

The Best Strings For Me

I've been looking for the ideal set of strings for my Les Paul, and these strings are just perfect! They have a fat, rich sound while not being too hard to bend with. They are also super affordable, so why wouldn't I use these?

Strings for almost any type of music

I've tried a lot, always end up with these.

I played in a few bands along the years. Played rock, blues, funk. Still playing funk, reggae and jazz with the same guitar (Epiphone Sorrento).

Fisrt I used D'addario strings then I started to use Ernie Ball and I noticed that they lasted long.I have 2-3 gigs/week and I don't like changing strings very often.

I change my string once every two months, thats 33 euros/year, so the price is more than ok for me.

Very good strings

I use them on all my strats, all tuned to Eb.

They have a very bright sappy tone that dies after a week or so.

But still are my favorite strings.

Great strings for metal playing style

Standard Ernie ball quality, great packing, great quality and great for metal and harder style of music. The same strings used Kirk Hammett and that's the proof of quality. Satisfied and I will for sure order this strings again.

Thank you.

A set of great string

Ernie Ball's .11 - .48 is definitely one of my favorite guitar string sets. I've always enjoyed having the high E string a bit thicker while the bottom E medium. The purity in the sound of the strings last a long time, so I highly suggest these.

Pros.

1. Long lasting sound purity. Like I said in the beginning the sound lasts a good amount of time. When doing shows and having rehearsals, a single set lasted me about solid 3 months before I started to notice that the sounds purity is wearing down.

2. Comfortable. Definitely comfortable and plays well. As a guy with thick fingers, these played really well and really comfortably.

3. Durable. I used to play in a Glam Metal band with these, so solo's with intensive bends was an everyday thing. I am still surprised that not once any of these strings broke while playing and doing high bends.

Cons.

1. I don't seem to have any, haha.

Overall, definitely a great set of strings. Ernie Ball strings is my personal "Go To" string manufacturer, if I do not found my personal favorites in a guitar store. If you are trying out different types of strings, try these as well.

The best strings

Well I tried a lot of string brands, I was never convinced except with Ernie Ball.

I mostly play bleus and rock, and Ernie Ball is perfect for that. Great sound, long living and almost unbreakable strings. The price is also interesting regarding other brands.

It's been 10 years now that I play the guitar, and I used Ernie Ball during more then 8 years !

They are sturdy, perfect sound.

I started playing the guitar at the age of 8 years, my string lengths were great, I always tried new strings and nothing suited me, I went to a music store one day and I saw this beautiful purple package and I asked the seller what was this Srings he told me: It's Ernie Ball are very good for rock, blues, metal and have a great clean tone. Ok I'll read them, it occurred to me I was 18 years old. Now I'm 35 years old, and I do not think of another String anymore,

They are sturdy, perfect sound for the music I like to play,

I am happy with them!

I wasn't sure if they are good but they are!

Good sound, good for different tunings, longevive enough if you take care of them and very cheap.What else would you want from a set of chords?

my choice in strings

this strings have a lot of bottom end, especially if you play half step down.

good quality, last very long.

I use ernie ball since I've start playing and they never let me down

Excellent

I usually use 10's but from time to time up to 11's for mainly rhythm gigs.....these are great value,sounding good and seldom snapping even with heavy usage...would be my first choice for live use...

Great Strings

Good output and finishing, tuning stability is good too.

I absolutely love those

For my style of music and my fingers, these strings bring a lot of quality, I find them very easy to play on. Currently I'm using elixir and I can't feel comfortable enough, I think I will buy these again.
